Q-1. What are the three basic steps involved in data communication through circuit
switching?
Ans: The steps are:
Circuit establishment (before data transfer
Circuit maintenance (When data transfer is going on)
Circuit disconnect (When data transfer is over)
Q-2. Mention the key advantages and disadvantages of circuit switching technique.
Ans: Advantages:
After path is established, data communication without delay.
Very suitable for continuous traffic.
It establishes a dedicated path.
No overhead after call setup.
It is transparent and data passes in order.
Disadvantages:
Provide initial delay for setting up the call.
Inefficient for bursty traffic.
Data rate should be same because of fixed bandwidth.
When load increases, some calls may be blocked.
Q-3. Why data communication through circuit switching is not efficient?
Ans: In data communication, traffic between terminal and server are not continuous.
Sometimes more data may come or sometimes there is no data at all. Circuit switching is
not efficient because of its fixed bandwidth.
Q-4. Compare the performance of space-division single-stage switch with multi-stage
switch.
Ans: Space-division single-stage switch requires more number of crosspoints,
nonblocking in nature but provides no redundant path. On the other hand multi-stage
switches require lesser number of crosspoints, blocking in nature but provides
redundant paths.
